Tespo vitamin dispenser

Has anyone tried this? Does it give all the vitamins needed for Bariatric sleeve patients. I'm very interested in buying this versus taking all the pill and chewable formats of vitamins but wanted some feed back before I purchase. Any tips, suggestions, comments or concerns?

Thinking about getting a Tespo. How's this working out for you?

Edited by VSGnewguy

my NUT and surgeon told me it wouldn't give enough of the vitamin amounts that I need. Every surgeon and vitamin regimen is different, so what may work for some, might not work for others.

I'm hoping that down the road my surgeon approves it, as the "shot" looks so much easier than the pills, disolvables, and chewables!

Hi I was wondering why it was not approved by your Nut? This is worrisome since I have one and LOVE IT. Yikes

@Sherry RiceIt does not meet the vitamin levels that they are recommending at this time. I so wish that wasn't the case as doing a vitamin shot in the morning and evening would be so much better than 3 pills, 3 dissolvables, 1 chewable in the morning, chewable at lunch, 2 pills and a chewable at dinner, 2 chewables before bed.

I was able to get one when they were half off a few weeks ago, but haven't had a chance to open and get it started yet. I'd rather do them this way or chewable.

They are still half off. I just ordered mine. The price is reduced once it's in the cart. As far as the dosage possibly being too low, I would think the higher absorption rate compared to traditional vitamins might offset that some.
